Deciding to study overseas is a life changing decision and our team of agents are ready to guide you throughout your application to study at UniSQ. If you would like assistance with your study application, or the Australian study visa process, you can find a UniSQ agent in your region.

Please note: for Africa, Middle East and sub-continent countries we only accept applications through UniSQ representatives. For applicants from all other countries, while we still encourage you to apply through one of our UniSQ approved agents, you are welcome to apply directly.

If you are unable to find an agent in your country, you can contact a UniSQ approved agent close to you in your region. 

To support your application to study, you will also need to submit certified copies of: 

• official photographic identification 
• English language proficiency: if you are from a non-English speaking country, we require evidence of your English language proficiency
• senior high school (A levels / Year 12) certificate and academic transcripts
• all post-secondary study certificates and academic transcripts (if any)
• evidence of work experience (if any).

When submitting, clear colour copies of documents are preferred. 

You may be eligible to apply for recognition of prior learning (RPL) (previously known as credit) for formal learning (through full or partial achievement of an officially accredited qualification), informal learning or non-formal learning, as outlined in the UniSQ Credit and Exemption Procedure. Specified Credit can only be granted for prior learning completed within 10 years of the time of application for Credit. 

How do I apply for RPL? 

To be assessed, you must have a letter of offer at UniSQ for the degree for which you are applying for RPL. Please also provide the following information to support your request: 

• Complete recognition of prior learning form
• an Official Academic Transcript (ensure it is in English, including details of the grading system. Documents in a language other than English must be accompanied by certified translations); and 
• For each course for which you are applying for RPL (credit): a detailed course/qualification outline that includes learning outcomes for the year you completed the course/subject in a PDF format or if weblinks are available showing the course details. The course outlines/subject guides for the previous course/s should include assessment requirements, topics covered, required readings/texts and unit weighting. You should be able to download these from the institution's website. This is to help you show that your prior study meets the assessment criteria.

Once you have prepared your RPL application, please return your application with all the above documents to ioadmissions@unisq.edu.au  

You can apply for RPL for previous studies once you are an active student and have received your log-in details. You should submit your RPL application through your Student Centre as soon as you can, preferably prior to orientation week. Step by step instructions are available. We’ll endeavour to process your application as soon as possible. 

For further information regarding the assessment of RPL requests please refer to the UniSQ Credit and Exemption Procedure.  

It is important to apply early to allow enough time for your application to be assessed and processed to meet study commencement dates and participation in Orientation activities. Applicants should also factor in visa processing requirements and timeframes, where applicable.

Note: Some programs have different application closing dates. Check if this applies to your program under 'Other applications dates' on the Key dates page.
